Unwanted

Kristina Ohlsson - Silenced
Fifteen ​years ago, a teenage girl is assaulted and raped as she picks flowers for a Midsummer's Eve ritual. Cut to the present, and a man is killed in a hit and run.

The investigations lead to a clandestine people-smuggling network: a new player on the international human smuggling market operating out of Bangkok.

Meanwhile, out in Bangkok on a business trip, a young woman finds that her flight has mysteriously been cancelled and, whichever way she turns, all contact with home has been cut off. Following a trail that leads all the way back to the '90s, Alex Recht's team at the Stockholm Police, along with Investigative Analyst Fredrika Bergman, uncover a terrible crime that was hushed-up, but whose consequences reach further and deeper than anyone could ever expect. Intense, urgent and full of surprises.
